V.A. ending political offices in their facilities

Florida Delegation to VA: Don't Shut Down Congressional Offices in Medical Facilities

The V.A.. wants to kick out all of our Congressional representatives who have offices at our Veterans Medical Centers. In Riviera Beach we have one Republican and three Democrats who have offices: Brian Mast, Ted Deutch, Lois Frankel and Alcee Hastings. There are so many problems in these facilities that I am assuming they don't want veterans to have easy access to politicians in order to report neglect or other problems that occur daily.

"No other federal agency has been so plagued by crisis after crisis as the VA has, and apparently they will go to no end to avoid accountability,” Mast said on Thursday. “Our space in the West Palm Beach VA is the size of a storage closet, but that hasn’t stopped us from meeting with and helping hundreds of veterans. The bottom line is that shutting down this office hurts veterans, who often don’t have the mobility to get to another Congressional office. Today the Department of Veterans Affairs chose to prioritize avoiding transparency and accountability over the veterans they are tasked with caring for.”
